Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“Extremely disappointed with Wayne Russell Funeral Services. After paying for my father’s funeral, I simply requested a duplicate receipt ours and Clerk of Courts records — something that should be straightforward and professional. Instead, I was met with unhelpful responses and outright refusal to provide it. At a time when compassion and basic customer service should be a priority, this experience was frustrating and disheartening. I would not recommend their services to others.”
— Dwayne Wells
“Wayne Russell Funeral Service was absolutely amazing! When my Father transitioned in 2014 they were very hospitable and I felt like family not just another number. That meant a lot to me. Mrs. Shelia Russell was amazing with helping me and mom with my Dad’s funeral arrangements and burial. I would recommend them any day! Thank you Wayne Russell Funeral Service.”
— Just Amore
